2:30 this morning i woke up to
"why is it that when someone hears the words 'reptile owner' they automatically picture someone who lives alone, is covered in tattoos and piercings, may possibly be satanic & may also have some form of mental illness?"
these are NOT my beliefs!
i mean i'm a christian who was raised catholic, i go to church, i have 2 kids (3 if you count my bf), 1 on the way and i like to think i'm a fairly decent person.
does anyone else feel stereotyped or is this just the ramblings of an overtired mind who wants to be up for the day?
then my dad's words rang out in my head and i just had to roll my eyes, shake my head and sigh. my dad told me recently that "snakes are ugly, creepy looking things..." he said this when we were having a conversation about me wanting to get a pet snake.
anyways, i'm hoping i dont start a vicious debate or something but i'm annoyed by the idea that reptile owners are stereotyped in such a negative light.
